Hello @simen64 , can you check if libayatana-appindicator is available in void-linux?

It gives the same error.
According to this thread it needs to be fixed upstream

Can you download the NetBird-UI (this version does not contain support for the legacy indicator) https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/actions/runs/10060312792/artifacts/1730753028 and then test if it works now?

Now the app "starts", but I get the following error:

2024/08/02 12:17:16 systray error: failed to register: The name is not activatable

And I cannot see the tray icon anywhere, but maybe this is a different issue. Using FC40 + Gnome + Wayland (which is the default of Fedora)

The name is not activatable

Did you install the deb and run it, or are you running the binary directly from the terminal?

Being Fedora, I installed the rpm and run it (from the terminal)

Now I've tried to run the amd64 binary present in the artifacts directly from the terminal, but got same result.

To determine if this is a GNOME-specific issue, I recommend installing gnome-shell-extension-appindicator and test again.

To determine if this is a GNOME-specific issue, I recommend installing [gnome-shell-extension-appindicator](https://github.com/ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator) and test again.

Gentoo Linux has also masked libappindicator because it's been superseded by libayatana-appindicator.

netbird-ui 0.28.7 is (still) compiled with libappindicator3.so.1 among the required shared libraries.
